Taking Stock

 So Pip from Meet me at Mikes wrote a post recently about what was currently happening in her life, as did Kayte from Woogs World. And, I thought I'd get on the band wagon and fill you all lovely people in on what's happening in my corner.

It's like having a deep and meaningful with me, but culled down to five minutes.

So, let's do it!

Me

 

 

Making : Headway with driving a big car. You see, we recently sold my zippy Mazda 3 to help with our renovation funds and I now drive the "beast" aka Steves baby - The Patrol. I reversed into a teeny tiny car park today for Jacks paediatrician appointment. It took 7 goes to get into the spot, but I did it! (Thank you reverse camera and parking sensors!)

Mama's driving the big car! They looked a bit scared, don't they??

Patrol

 

Cooking : More and more. Which that shit is a serious "high 5" to me. As I would rather clean toilets than cook. I am very slowly, slowly starting to enjoy it.


Drinking : Too much wine! I joined Dan Murphy's loyalty team the other week. Me and Sav Blanc have developed a relationship this summer.


Reading: Bills and emails, but wishing that it was for pleasure. I miss curling up with a book and getting into a great story.


Wanting: A four day working week - I can dream can't I?


Looking: Forward to renovations being over at our place soon! Ok, not that soon but only one main room left- the Kitchen! (It has been 6 years in the making)


Playing: Sia's latest song every morning


Wasting: Time always on Facebook! I love it, I so do! I do, I do, I do!


Sewing: Really? I threw out my iron about 10 years ago and sewing? Well, I leave that in Steves capable hands.


Wishing: For my next trip to Bali to hurry up! (19 weeks to go, but who's counting!) read all about my last adventure to my favourite place here


Enjoying: Summer nights, late evening sunsets, sitting on my deck with the radio playing classic 70's and 80's music.


Waiting: For my delivery from Pretty Fkn Embroidery


Liking: Pinterest! Seriously I could spend hours on there. 


Wondering: Whether you knew this word...it is one of my most favourite smells in the whole world:

Unnamed


Loving: Life! It sounds so corny but I really, really do! 


Hoping: That the Melbourne weather sorts itself out quick smart. Last week ugg boots, this week 35 degrees!

 

Marvelling: At my babies every single day! And how time seems to go by so quickly.

 

Needing: Serious help with Twitter. I just don't get it.

 

Smelling: Candles and aromatherapy in my home every day. Ylang Ylang and Lavendar are my go to oils to burn that i adore.

 

Wearing: Sandles, Long skirt and singlet. Thank you Melbourne for bringing the summer back this week!

 

Following: The latest season of The Block on channel 9. I'm still convinced that we would be brilliant entertainment as contestants!

 

Noticing: My tolerance for drama is very low.

 

Knowing: That I really don't know much, but what I do know,I strongly believe in.

 

Thinking: That if everyone just did a little bit of the below - the world would be a nicer place. 

Quote

Feeling: Loved.

 

Bookmarking: Date nights - or thinking of bookmarking them. I'll bookmark time to actually bookmark the date nights.

 

Opening: My emails and I see a notification letting me know someone commented on my blog posts - MAKES MY DAY!


Giggling: At the fact that I only just recently got why the store "Target" is called Target. You see the logo? It's a Target! I know, me too! Is it really just me that didn't get it? Really?


Feeling: Happy I got through this list. Looked simple enough at first but it gets you thinking.

 

 

What gets you going? Make you tick? I'd love to know.oxox

Do not write blog post when you have had a couple of wines

 It's been a bad day.  Not a travesty, but a day of anxiety, overload of emotions, countless puffs from many a ciggies and all in all just a bleh.  Where the fuck has 2020 gone? How did we get from free world to lockdown and oppressions and wearing masks???? I  burnt my 2020 planner, close with my 2020 diary, because why the fuck, hey? Let's just write this year off as a mistake on a humanity scale and start fresh in 2021.  Funnily enough, I bought a $4 2021 diary. So there may be hope. My beloved is struggling. Which  means that I am struggling, Seeing him in pain, no sleep, swelling joint agony, depression and all the things that entail chronic illness. I'm at a loss as to how to help him, I just sit and be with him and tell him every day that i will be by his side till the rest of my days.  At least 2020 has shown us this: What actually is important in our life, What actually matters, like really really matters,  The latest model car or other new appliance upgra

Is it Saturday or Sunday?

 It is just before 6am as I sit here on my back porch watching the sun slowly rise for another day. What day is it? #isolyf has got me all confused to the day, date and month. With so many of us wishing and wanting “more time”, I have found myself getting bored of being bored and the motivation bug seems to come in slower and less frequently. How the world has changed in the unprecedented times, hey? It seems that here in #straya, we have quickly adapted to the powers that be and in the matter of weeks have become accustomed to the lack of interaction and movement. Does that concern you? How quickly we have been able to conform? I had to delete Facebook off my phone a few weeks ago as I was constantly checking #scomo and Googling “coronavirus” every other minute. The information overload brought on confusion as well as fear and I was working around feeling like doomsday was coming. The best thing that I did was switch off. The establishment news was only regurgitating stupidity on a

Kaftan's vs Tight Active Wear, Every Single Time

 What the fuck is going on in this world of ours? I mean, really. 2020 was supposed to BE, THE YEAR – and then it all went to shit with lockdowns, grim reaper viruses and eternal long days of Netflix and then even more Netflix. How are you travelling? I’ve gained a beauty of 8kg in #isolyf. I have discovered that I indeed enjoy all things sweet – in particular, Donuts ( of all sorts but KRISPY KREME – you have my heart) and Strawberry Iced cream filled cakes from Coles. Oh and the wine. Yes a bottle a day. Me love any drop at the moment. I’ve caught up on the entire series of Gossip Girl – 10 years after its release and I have perfected the art of doing fuck all. Just ask Steve 😊 With this teeny weight gain #isosympathyweight, I was in need of new jeans. Well, do you think there were many options available in Desert Land? Yeah, Nah. But at least Kmart has a $15 pair made in Bangladesh and Just Jeans had a boyfriend pair down to $20 from $79.90. I desperately need Botox. I was v
